Objective: This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of an audiovisual playful teaching strategy on dental care for pediatric patients during the coronavirus pandemic among a group of primary school students. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was designed. The sample consisted of 151 schoolchildren aged 8 to 11. Results: Before the educational intervention, 69.5% of the schoolchildren achieved a High level of knowledge, and 30.5% a Medium level; these scores improved by 12% after watching the video, with 81.5% of the schoolchildren reaching the High level. There was no statistically significant relationship between the level of knowledge obtained before and after the intervention with gender (p=0.724) or age (p=0.920). The paired T-test showed that the application of the audiovisual playful strategy was effective in improving knowledge about dental care for pediatric patients during the coronavirus pandemic among the observed schoolchildren (t=5.884, p=0.000). Conclusion: The audiovisual playful strategy was effective in enhancing the understanding of dental care among primary school students during the pandemic.
